Board of Directors
Seven elected Cooperative members, who each represent a defined geographical district, serve on NOVEC’s board of directors. They, in turn, hire a president/CEO to manage the daily operations of the company.
According to the Cooperative's Bylaws, members elect two or three directors each year by plurality vote to serve four-year terms. A nomination for a board director may be made by a petition signed by 15 or more members and submitted at least 70 days prior to the annual meeting date. Current board officers and directors are:
